boon's log 1809.01: In the mail...

Got this interesting fwded email when I opened up my mailbox this morning while sipping through my Starbucks black coffee. According to the email, this picture was taken in Miri, Sarawak.


Starbucks, Miri, Sarawak. (credit and acknowledgement to the person who took this photo)

Not sure how true it is yet, but at least it's got a Malaysian flag hanging outside of the store, for one. So we can be sure it is somewhere in rural areas of Malaysia. 10 pts to the folks that started this establishment and I sure hope that their coffee is as good as (if not better than) the original Starbucks.

I wonder if other opportunists in the area will be competitive enough to take up the challenge and open up a "Biji Kopi dan Daun Teh" down the road from Setarbak Kopi... ;P

Oh, and notice the tombstone shop next to it? :) Talk about location, location, location...

boon out...
